Well, not anymore… Ehm icloud scanning

*everywhere

Just use signal or any e2e instant messanger instead of it.

Yes, let people do what they want.

It did, but was later removed for some reason.

Well, this person (according to their post history) has schizophrenia, but this could kinda be real and probably also happned, if not recently, probably sometime in history. Of course the stereotype about rape victims actually exists.

Just check if it’s legal first.

Or if they copy the data from the servers, as it isn’t e2e, the data is unencrypted on the server (or usually encrypted on the server with keys accesible by people working there) as far as I know.

You can replace the battery easily and there are roms like calyx and divestos, which support bl relocking. Although divestos doesn’t look very stable, but I haven’t tried it.

I think some op phones also meet the requirements.

Wow that’s actually a great app. Thanks.

Snapdragons are decent for custom roms, the problem is samsung blocking bl-unlock on US SDM phones.

Well, there is no support from privacy roms, but I can survive with lineageos+microg (with somewhat decent updates) on redmi 4x. There is support for poco f5 and redmi 12 from crdroid, which supports microg and is apparently decent. Cheaper options usually have mediatek processors (mediatek doesn’t opensource their software or release fw blobs), so the support on those phones is terrible. Support on snapdragon xiaomis is still way better, then on samsung, oppo, etc.

Xiaomis and some other chinease brands have decent custom rom support, but no grapheneos and no bootloader relocking (except some oneplus phones)

Laptops can be compared to cars, you can buy an economical car (with higher range and lower costs, but less power) or a sporscar/muscle car (terrible economy, loud, but higher performance)

I made the account here, when it wasn’t as popular and I’m way too lazy to migrate.

And this is making a lemmy.world monopoly, which is bad for the fediverse (still better, than reddit).

So all the qualities of XM phones and no drawbacks, like miui and official software support? Great.

As far as I heard, their designs are similar to macbooks, are the keyboards as terrible?

Some gaming laptops are good, but others are just as crappy as normal laptops. New smaller thinkpads are still good enough, if you need a small laptop.
